SAFETY PRECAUTIONS B-62923EN/01
1.1 DEFINITION OF WARNING, CAUTION, AND NOTE
This manual includes safety precautions for protecting the user and
preventing damage to the machine. Precautions are classified into
Warning and Caution according to their bearing on safety. Also,
supplementary information is described as a Note. Read the Warning,
Caution, and Note thoroughly before attempting to use the machine.
Applied when there is a danger of the user being injured or when there
is a damage of both the user being injured and the equipment being
damaged if the approved procedure is not observed.
WARNING
Applied when there is a danger of the user being
injured or when there is a damage of both the user
being injured and the equipment being damaged if
the approved procedure is not observed.
CAUTION
Applied when there is a danger of the equipment
being damaged, if the approved procedure is not

B-62923EN/01 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.2 GENERAL WARNINGS AND NOTES
WARNING
1 Before operating the machine, thoroughly check the
entered data. Operating the machine with incorrect
data may result in the machine behaving
unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the
workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the user.
2 Never attempt to perform a production run, such as
actually machining a workpiece, without first checking
the operation of the machine. Before starting the
machine for a production run, ensure that the program
command values, offsets, current position, external
signals, and other settings are suitable for the
operation to be performed. Also check that the
machine operates correctly by performing a trial run
using, for example, the single block, feedrate
override, or machine lock function or by operating the
machine with neither a tool nor workpiece mounted.
3 Ensure that the specified feedrate is appropriate for
the intended operation. Generally, for each machine,
there is a maximum allowable feedrate.
The appropriate feedrate varies with the intended
operation. Refer to the manual provided with the
machine to determine the maximum allowable
feedrate. If a machine is run at other than the correct
speed, it may behave unexpectedly, possibly causing
damage to the workpiece and/or machine itself, or
injury to the user.
4 When using a tool compensation function,
thoroughly check the direction and amount of
compensation. Operating the machine with incorrectly
specified data may result in the machine behaving
unexpectedly, possibly causing damage to the
workpiece and/or machine itself, or injury to the user.
5 The parameters for the CNC and PMC are
factory-set. Usually, there is not need to change them.
When, however, there is not alternative other than to
change a parameter, ensure that you fully understand
the function of the parameter before making any
change. Failure to set a parameter correctly may
result in the machine behaving unexpectedly, possibly
causing damage to the workpiece and/or machine
itself, or injury to the user.
s-3
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS B-62923EN/01
CAUTION
1 Immediately after switching on the power, do not
touch any of the keys on the MDI panel until the
position display or alarm screen appears on the
CNC unit.
Some of the keys on the MDI panel are dedicated to
maintenance or other special operations. Pressing
any of these keys may place the CNC unit in other
than its normal state. Starting the machine in this
state may cause it to behave unexpectedly.
2 The operator's manual and programming manual
supplied with a CNC unit provide an overall
description of the machine's functions, including any
optional functions. Note that the optional functions
will vary from one machine model to another.
Therefore, some functions described in the manuals
may not actually be available for a particular model.
Check the specification of the machine if in doubt.
3 Some functions may have been implemented at the
request of the machine-tool builder. When using
such functions, refer to the manual supplied by the
machine-tool builder for details of their use and any
related cautions. Refer to the following two
examples.
<1> Some machines have a tool replacement
device that operates when a tool feature is
executed. When the user is working near the
device, he or she may touch it. Execute tool
features in a place sufficiently away from the
tool replacement device.
<2> Many auxiliary features cause machine
operation such as rotation of the spindle.
Understand the operations of auxiliary features
before using them.
NOTE
1 Command programs, parameters, and variables are
stored in nonvolatile memory in the CNC unit.
Usually, they are retained even if the power is turned
off. Such data may be delated inadvertently,
however, or it may prove necessary to delete all
data from nonvolatile memory as part of error
recovery.
To guard against the occurrence of the above, and
assure quick restoration of deleted data, backup all
vital data, and keep the backup copy in a safe place.

1.16i/18i/21i-A/B, Power Mate i-D/H, AND 16/18-C OPERATION B-62923EN/01
1.1 OVERVIEW
In PROFIBUS-DP communication, two types of nodes are involved: a

master station (also referred to as a DP-Master) and a slave station
(also referred to as a DP-Slave). DI/DO data is exchanged between a
DP-Master and DP-Slave according to a data exchange request from
the DP-Master.
The DP-Master function is referred to as the PROFIBUS-DP Master
(class1) function (simply referred to as the master function). The
DP-Slave function is referred to as the PROFIBUS-DP Slave function
(simply referred to as the slave function).
Two classes of DP-Masters are used in PROFIBUS-DP

communication: class1 and class2. A DP-Master (class1) is a
DP-Master that communicates with DP-Slaves. A DP-Master (class2)
is a DP-Master that serves as the management station within a
PROFIBUS-DP system, and communicates with the DP-Master
(class1).
The master function of FANUC CNCs supports only the DP-Master
(class1) function, so that the FANUC DP-Master cannot be used as a
DP-Master (class2).
- 14 -
1.2 MASTER FUNCTION SETTING
To use the master function, bus parameters and slave parameters must
be set, and addresses must be assigned.
The bus parameters and slave parameters are referenced by the
PROFIBUS network. As for address assignment, PMC addresses used
by the DP-Master to transfer DI/DO signals to and from each
DP-Slave are set.
The slave parameters and the address assignment are set for each
slave.
The methods of setting the parameters are described below.
NOTE
1 The PROFIBUS Setting Tool (drawing number
A08B-9510-J530) is a personal computer (PC) tool
related to the PROFIBUS-DP master function.
This tool enables PROFIBUS-DP master function
parameters to be created on a PC.
Those who use the PROFIBUS-DP master function
for the first time or are unfamiliar with
PROFIBUS-DP master function setting are
recommended to purchase a copy of this tool.
The Ethernet function is necessary to use this tool.
2 To set the bus parameters and slave parameters,
you can also use DP-Configurator (tool running on a
PC) manufactured by Softing. For details of this
setting, see Section E.1, "Setting Using
DP-Configurator Manufactured BY Softing," in
"SUPPLEMENT."
But DP-Configurator can set only the bus
parameters and slave parameters.
Procedure (CRT/MDI)
(1) Press function key <SYSTEM>, then press soft key [PMC] to
switch to the PMC screen.
(2) Pressing the soft keys [PMCDGN], [IOCHK], and [PROFI] in

the stated order displays Screen 1-1.

1.2.6 Updating DI/DO Data for the Master Function

When making a ladder program, fully consider “Data refresh time”,
“Data simultaneity” and “Relation with ladder program” described
below.
Data refresh time
The data refresh time for the master function means the time required
for updating DI/DO data for all slave stations that is allocated in the R
area of the PMC by address assignment.
NOTE
-The processing time of a ladder program is not
included in the data refresh time.
-It should be considered that the reaction time is
twice data refresh time at the best. (The reaction
time is until receiving the response as DI data after
sending request as DO data.)
-DI/DO data means all DI/DO data of the available
slots which are included in available slaves.
Available slaves are marked with “*” at the position
[NO] of the Slave index screen.
Available slots are marked with either of “---“,
“I/O”,”I/-“,”-/O” or “-/-“ at the position [MOD] of the
DI/DO address screen.
When only the master function is used

The data refresh time for the master function is indicated at REFRESH
TIME on Screen 1-2.
REFRESH TIME : XXX MSEC ([XXX + XXX] is for

maintenance data.)
It is displayed with three digits. If the number of digits is exceeded,

OVR or OVER is displayed, but it does not affect communication.
- 45 -
The data refresh time can be estimated roughly by using the following
expression.
CAUTION
-The answer led from this expression can not be
guaranteed as the actual refresh time. Please use
an estimated value for a reference.
As for the actual refresh time, please see REFRESH
TIME of Screen 1-2.
The actual refresh time may increase/decrease by
8msec unit, against the estimated value.
Especially in the case that the number of slaves or
DI/DO data increases , and if the number of slaves
becomes more than ten and if its total size of DI/DO
data becomes more than 150 bytes, the actual
refresh time possibly becomes longer than the
estimated time.
-Note that DI/DO data may not be updated within the

time displayed for REFRESH TIME in either of the
following cases:
The status of at least one communication slave
station is changing every moment. (For example,
when diagnostic data is being updated.)
A service is being received from a class-2 master
station every moment.
By using the expression(A), please divide slaves into several groups in

the order of the slave number.
a1×N_slave + a2×N_slot + a3×SIZE ≤ C ............................... (A)
a1, a2, a3,C : Constant parameters
N_slave : Number of communication slave stations
N_slot : Number of slots
SIZE : DI/DO data size
Table 1-15 Constant Parameters in Expression (A)

16i/18i/21i-A/B,
CNC 16/18-C
Power Matei –D/H
a1 37 33
a2 8.6 8.2
Constant
a3 1.3 1.5
C 750 831
- 46 -
With the following procedure, the slaves are divided into several
groups.
<1> Add N_slot and SIZE respectively for each communication slave
station in ascending order of slave numbers. Each time N_slave,
N_slot and SIZE for a slave is added, substitute the cumulative
number of communication slave stations (N_slave), the number
of slots (N_slot) and the DI/DO data size (SIZE) in expression
(A) and check whether the condition is satisfied.
<2> Increase the values of N_slave, N_slot and SIZE and obtain the
maximum values of N_slavemax, N_slotmax and SIZEmax that
satisfy the condition for expression (A).
<3> When the value of the left-hand side exceeds C, clear the values
of N_slave, N_slot and SIZE once. Start calculation from step <1>
as the second group.
<4> Perform steps <1> to <3> for all communication slave stations
and count the number of slave group (n).
Thus, the data refresh time is obtained roughly as follows:

n × 8 msec
Example of calculating the data refresh time

[Conditions]
• CNC model: 16i/18i/21i-A/B
• Communication slave station settings for the master function:
- Slave No. 3: N_slot=1, SIZE = 122/122
[Calculation]
• First group
- Calculation for slave No. 3 and 4:
37×2 + 8.6×(1+1) + 1.3×(244+244)=726 <750
→ N_slave, N_slot and SIZE indicate the maximum values.
Slave No3 and 4 are first group.
- Calculation for slave No. 3 to 5:
37×3 + 8.6×(1+1+1) + 1.3×(244+244+244)=1088 >750
→ The values of N_slave, N_slot and SIZE should be cleared.
• Second group
37×2 + 8.6×(1+1) + 1.3×(244+244)=726 <750
→ Slave No 5 and 6 are second group. and calculation for all
communication slave stations is complete. Thus, the slave
group (n) is determined to be 2.
Thus, the data refresh time is 16 msec for this example.
- 47 -
When both the master and slave functions are used together
In this case, the data refresh time is similar to that described in "When
only the master function is used" above.
However, SIZE: DI/DO data size in expression (A) is as follows:
SIZE = SIZEmas + SIZEslv
SIZEmas : DI/DO data size for the master function
SIZEslv : DI/DO data size for the slave function
Example of calculating the data refresh time

[Conditions]
• Communication slave station settings for the master function :
• Settings for the slave function : DI/DO SIZE = 8/8
[Calculation]
• First group
- Calculation for slave No. 3 and 4:
37×2 + 8.6×(1+1) + 1.3×(244+244+16)=746 <750
→ N_slave, N_slot and SIZE indicate the maximum values.
Slave No 3 and 4 are first group.
37×3 + 8.6×(1+1+1) + 1.3×(244+244+244+16)=1109 >750
→ The values of N_slave, N_slot and SIZE should be cleared.
• Second group
37×2 + 8.6×(1+1) + 1.3×(244+244+16)=746 <750
→ Slave No 5 and 6 are second group and calculation for all
communication slave stations is complete. Thus slave
group (n) is determined to be 2.
Thus, the data refresh time is 16 msec for this example.
- 48 -
Data simultaneity
With the master function and Slave function, when DI/DO signals are
handled with a ladder program, data simultaneity is guaranteed in each
of long data (4-byte data) units and word data (2-byte data) units
under the following constraints.
NOTE
If the following constraints are not satisfied,
simultaneity of each data length cannot be
guaranteed.
Data simultaneity for long data (4-byte data)

<1> Use the following commands in the PMC ladder program in
4-byte units:
DECB, CODEB, DCNVB, COMPB, DSCHB, XMOVB, ADDB,
SUBB, MULB, DIVB, NUMEB, MOVN, EOR, AND, OR, and
NOT
<2> When assigning DI/DO data to R addresses in the PMC area,
follow the rules below depending on the PMC type:
- For the PMC-SB6
Each R address area must start at a 4-byte boundary.
(Example:R0000, R0004, R0008, R0012, . . .)
- For the PMC-SB5, PMC-SA1, or PMC-SA5
Each R address area must start at 2 bytes ahead of a 4-byte
boundary.
(Example: R0002, R0006, R0010, R0014, . . .)
Data simultaneity for word data (2-byte data)

2-byte units:
SUBB, MULB, DIVB, NUMEB, MOVW, MOVN, EOR, AND,
OR, and NOT
each R address area must start at a 2-byte boundary.
Data simultaneity for byte data (1-byte data)

There is no constraint.
Simultaneity is always guaranteed within 1-byte data.
- 49 -
Relation with ladder program
The refresh processing of PROFIBUS DI/DO data does not

synchronize with the processing of a ladder program. (Without
relation to the processing of a ladder program, the refresh processing
of PROFIBUS DI/DO data is executed.)
Thus, the following cautions should be considered for the
development of a ladder program.
CAUTION
Data simultaneity within one command of a ladder
program is guaranteed on the conditions of the
previous section.
But even while a ladder program works, the DI/DO
data updating of PROFIBUS is executed regardless
of a ladder program running.
Thus, a ladder programmer should consider the
following points.
- When a certain PROFIBUS input signal which is

set to the specified R address is read by the two
position of a ladder program, and even if the
ladder program can run within one scan time, it is
not guaranteed that the same value can be read.
The second ladder command may read the
different value from the one of the first.
- When a ladder program writes the data of

PRFIBUS output signal into the specified R
address, its signal may be transferred to the
slave before a ladder program runs until the end.
- 50 -
1.2.7 About the number of available I/O module units

The maximum number of I/O module units per slave station is
determined by Slave parameter length which can be calculated with
the following expression.
Slave parameter length = 26 + [ 9 + USER PRM DATA length] (note)

+ [ 2 + CONFIG DATA length] (note)
+ SLAVE USER DATA length
=< 240 bytes
(note) If the value of […] is an odd number, make it an even number by

adding one to an original value.
The length of each parameter (USER PRM DATA, CONFIG DATA,

SLAVE USER DATA) can be got from PROFIBUS Slave parameter
screen of CNC.
Example
Case 1: USER PRM DATA length =157, CONFIG DATA
length=46, SLAVE USER DATA length=0
26 + [ 9 + 157 ] + [ 2 + 46 ] + 0 = 240 (Available)
Case 2: USER PRM DATA length =158, CONFIG DATA

length=47, SLAVE USER DATA length=0
26 + [ 9 + 158 (+1) ] + [ 2 + 47 (+1)] + 0 = 244 (Not available)
NOTE
1 If Slave parameter length exceeds 240 bytes, the
following message is displayed at the top-menu of
PROFIBUS setting screen on CNC.
• In case of series 6557 of CONTROL SOFTWARE
“SET VALID SLAVE PARAM AND POWER OFF”
• In case of series 6558 of CONTROL SOFTWARE
“INVALID SLAVE EXISTS”
2 According to the limitation of the above-mentioned,
the number of available I/O module units might be
fewer than a capacity of its slave unit defined at
Slave unit’s manual, GSD file, etc.
3 In an instance, approximate 40 I/O module units can
be available per a slave station. (It is a rough
estimate. The length of USER PRM DATA and
CONFIG DATA is variable, depending upon kinds of
I/O module units, as well as the number of units.)
4 This check is executed automatically by using
PROFIBUS Setting Tool (A08B-9510-J530).
- 51 -
About CONFIG DATA length of series 6558 of CONTROL SOFTWARE

Add all length of module data per one slave station and you have the
length of CONFIG DATA.
For example, if Slave station 3 has four slots and the following
module data are set, the length of CONFIG DATA of Slave station 3
is “6” bytes.
Slave No. Slot No. The contents of Module data screen on CNC
3 0 MODULE LENGTH = 1
MODULE = 00
1 MODULE LENGTH = 2
MODULE = 10 20
2 MODULE LENGTH = 1
MODULE = 20
3 MODULE LENGTH = 2
MODULE = 10 20

1.3 SLAVE FUNCTION SETTING
Addresses must be assigned on a DP-Slave before the slave function

can be used.
By address assignment, a PMC address is set, and the sizes of the
DI/DO areas used for the DI/DO signal transfer between the
DP-Master and DP-Slave are set. The method of setting each
parameter is described below.
NOTE
Before a DP-Slave manufactured by FANUC can be
used, data dependent on the FANUC DP-Slave must
be set in the slave parameters of the DP-Master. So,
when setting the slave parameters of the DP-Master,
see Section 1.4, "Setting the Slave Parameters for
Using a slave Station Manufactured by FANUC" of
B-62924EN
Procedure (CRT/MDI)

When assigning addresses, pay careful attention to
the following points:
1 Ensure that the specified DI and DO areas do not
overlap one another.
2 Ensure that specified addresses do not overlap a
work area used for a ladder program.
3 Use the R area only. (When using the PMC-SB5, be
careful not to exceed R1499. When using the
PMC-SB6 or the PMC-NB6, be careful not to
exceed R2999.)
(4) STATUS on Screen 1-12 indicates the state of the DP-Slave.

Each item under STATUS has the meaning described below.
CONFIG STATUS
This item indicates whether slave parameter CONFIG
DATA of the DP-Master matches the configuration data
recognized by the DP-Slave. If there is a mismatch, normal
communication cannot be performed.
FF: Initial state
00: State in which normal communication is being performed
(match)
03: State in which received configuration data cannot be
accepted
PARAM STATUS
This item indicates whether slave parameter USER PRM
DATA of the DP-Master matches the parameter data

LIVELIST STATUS
This item indicates whether the software of the slave
function is operating normally. During normal operation,
this item counts up from 00 to FF. When FF is reached,
another count operation starts from 00. This status indicates
whether the software of the slave function is operating
normally, but does not indicate whether communication is
being performed normally.
A message may be displayed at the lower left of Screen 1-12. In this

1.3.1 Status Register

With the DP-Master, DP-Master status is set as diagnose data in the R
area of the PMC as described in Section 1.2.3, "Setting for Address
Assignment." With a DP-Slave, a status register is used. This is
equivalent to the diagnose data used with the DP-Master. The status
register is set at address R9094 in the R area of the PMC. For details
of the status register, see Table 1-10.
Table 1-10 Status Register

Item Description
Status register The state of a DP-Slave is indicated. (All the bits below are set by the software of the CNC.)
(Address: R9094) Bit 7: No PROFIBUS board is installed.
(Size: 1 byte) This bit is set when no PROFIBUS board is inserted into the slot.
Bit 6: The DP-Master is not ready for communication.
This bit is set if the DP-Master is not ready for communication when the power to the DP-Slave
is turned on. If communication with the DP-Master is established, but later disabled, this bit
remains set to 0.
Bit 5: Reserved.
Bit 4 or bit 3: The CPU has stopped.
Bit 4 or bit 3 is set when the CPU on the communication board of the DP-Slave has stopped
during communication. Whether bit 4 or bit 3 is set depends on the software processing on the
CNC being performed when the CPU stopped. In either case, the CPU has stopped.
Bit 2: WATCHDOG STATUS error.
This bit is set if a disconnection occurs during communication.
Bit 1: CONFIG STATUS error.
This bit is set if the DP-Slave cannot recognize the CONFIG DATA of the slave parameters of
the DP-Master.
Bit 0: PARAM STATUS error.
This bit is set when the DP-Slave cannot recognize USER PRM DATA of the slave parameters
of the DP-Master.

1.3.2 Updating DI/DO Data for the Slave Function

When creating a ladder program, fully consider the data simultaneity
described below.
Data simultaneity
With the FANUC master function and slave function, when DI/DO
signals are handled with a ladder program, data simultaneity is
guaranteed in each of long data (4-byte data) units and word data
(2-byte data) units under the following constraints.
NOTE

1.4 SETTING THE SLAVE PARAMETERS FOR USING A

SLAVE STATION MANUFACTURED BY FANUC
Before the slave station manufactured by FANUC can be used, data

dependent on the FANUC slave station must be set in the slave
parameters of the master station.
Table 1-11 indicates the values to be set in the slave parameters. Note
that if valid values are not set in these parameters, communication
may not be performed normally. (For the function of each slave
parameter, see Table 1-4 in Section 1.2.2, "Slave Parameter Setting.")
Table 1-11 Settings of the Slave Parameters

[Explanation of CONFIG DATA]
CAUTION
Input and output described below indicate the input
and output viewed from the master station,
respectively.
DI and DO indicate the input and output viewed
from the FANUC slave station, respectively.
For CONFIG DATA for using a FANUC slave station, usually set the
value specifying the input/output type with the first data and the
input/output size with the following data.
The value specifying the input/output type is set in hexadecimal as
follows:
(a) For using both input/output (input/output size > 0) : C0
(b) For using only output (input size = 0, output size > 0) : 80
(c) For using only input (input size > 0, output size = 0) : 40
For example, for (a) For using both input/output, the format is as
follows:
Data length: 3
Data: C0 output-size -1 input-size -1
Because the maximum values of input size -1 and output-size -1 are

3F, the above format can be used when the input or output size is up to
64 bytes.
When the input and output sizes are 65 bytes or more, the above
format is repeated as follows:
Data length: 6
Data: C0 output-size -1 input-size -1
C0 output-size -1 input-size -1
For using only output or input, the same format is used as follows:
(b) For using only output
Data length: Multiple of 2
Data: 80 output-size -1 ... repeated
(c) For using only input
Data length: Multiple of 2
Data: 40 input-size -1 ... repeated
The following lists all CONFIG DATA formats.

XX indicates output-size -1 and YY indicates input-size -1 (XX and
YY are hexadecimal numbers.)

2.Series 15i-A/B OPERATION B-62923EN/01

This chapter describes PROFIBUS-DP functions for Series 15i–A/B.
NOTE
- 72 -
B-62923EN/01 OPERATION 2.Series 15i-A/B
2.1 OVERVIEW
In PROFIBUS-DP communication, two types of nodes are involved: a

master station (also referred to as a DP-Master) and a slave station
(also referred to as a DP-Slave). DI/DO data is exchanged between a
DP-Master and DP-Slave according to a data exchange request from
the DP-Master.
The DP-Master function is referred to as the PROFIBUS-DP Master
(class1) function (simply referred to as the master function). The
DP-Slave function is referred to as the PROFIBUS-DP Slave function
(simply referred to as the slave function).
Two classes of DP-Masters are used in PROFIBUS-DP

communication: class1 and class2. A DP-Master (class1) is a
DP-Master that communicates with DP-Slaves. A DP-Master (class2)
is a DP-Master that serves as the management station within a
PROFIBUS-DP system, and communicates with the DP-Master
(class1).
The master function of FANUC CNCs supports only the DP-Master
(class1) function, so that the FANUC DP-Master cannot be used as a
DP-Master (class2).
- 73 -
2.2 MASTER FUNCTION SETTING
The bus parameters are referenced by the network, and the slave
parameters are set for each slave. In address assignment, PMC
addresses used by the DP-Master to transfer DI/DO signals to and
from each DP-Slave are set.
There are two types of screens for setting parameters.

1 Bus parameter screen
Used for setting bus parameters.
2 Slave parameter screen
Used for setting slave parameters and for address assignment.
Two pages are provided for each DP-Slave, and pages for 126
stations in total are provided.

Initialization
Pressing the soft key [INIT] initializes the slave parameter values for a
specified station number to the basic settings used for connecting the
DP-Slave of FANUC CNC.
NOTE
1 Normally, use of the soft key [INIT] allows
initialization for connecting FANUC's DP-Slave.
However, be sure to set CONFIGURATION DATA
by referencing Section 2.4, "Setting Slave
Parameters When Using FANUC Slave Station."
This is because variable data for the DI/DO size in
data exchange with the SP-Slave must be set.
2 The soft key [INIT] sets each address assignment
parameter to the minimum value (the address
location is set to R0000). So, be sure to set a
correct value.
- 81 -
Table 2-3 summarizes the slave parameters. For details, refer to

the following documents issued by PROFIBUS
Nutzerorganisation e.V.:
This document describes data transfer, access methods,
protocols, and interfacing with the application layer.

2.2.3 Setting for Address Assignment

Set address assignment on the slave parameter screen described above
(Screen 2-2 (a)).
Screen 2-2(a)
CAUTION
When assigning addresses, pay careful attention to the
following points:
1 Assign addresses to all DP-Slaves that are set to
ENABLE in the slave parameters.
2 Be careful not to assign duplicate addresses to a
DP-Slave.
3 Ensure that a specified DI data area, DO data area,
and diagnose data area do not overlap one another.
4 Ensure that the specified addresses do not overlap
an area used for a ladder program.
5 Use the R area only. (When using PMC-SB5, be
careful not to exceed R1499. When using PMC-SB6
or PMC-NB6, be careful not to exceed R2999.)
- 84 -
Each item must be set as described below.

DI/DO ADDRESS AND DI/DO SIZE
Set the area to be used as a DI/DO data buffer.
DIAGNOSE ADDRESS AND DGN DATA SIZE
Set an area for storing diagnose data. For details of standard
diagnose data, see Table 2-4.
NOTE
Diagnose data is classified as standard diagnose
data and extended diagnose data. The DP-Slaves
manufactured by FANUC use standard diagnose
data (6 bytes) only. On the other hand, DP-Slaves
supplied by other manufacturers may use extended
diagnose data of more than six bytes. When using
DP-Slaves supplied by other manufacturers,
determine the size of the diagnose data by
referencing the GSD file of each DP-Slave.
- 85 -
Table 2-4 Standard Diagnose data

Item Description
This bit is set by the DP-Slave when extended diagnose data can be used. The
DP-Master of FANUC CNCs can reference up to 26 bytes of the extended diagnose
data.
Bit 3: Diag.WD_On
If this bit is set by the DP-Slave, the DP-Master reads the diagnose data until this bit is
reset.
Bit 0: Diag.Prm_Req
(Size: 1 byte) Bit 7: Diag.Ext_Diag_Overflow
This bit is set by the DP-Slave when diagnose data cannot be stored in the extended
diagnose data area. The DP-Master of FANUC CNCs can reference up to 26 bytes of
the extended diagnose data.
Bits 6 to 0: Reserved
(Size: 2 bytes)
- 86 -

Example) For explanation, the example shown in Screen 2-2(a) is

used.
On Screen 2-2(a), SLAVE NUMBER is 3. So, addresses
are assigned to the DP-Slave at station number 3.
DI ADDRESS is R0000, and DI SIZE is 32. So, a 32-byte
DI data area is assigned, starting at R0000, to the
DP-Slave at station number 3, as indicated below.
DO ADDRESS is R0100, and DO SIZE is 16. So, a
16-byte DO data area is assigned, starting at R0100, to the
DP-Slave of station number 3, as indicated below.
DI data area assignment

R0000
DI data from DP-Slave #3
R0032
DO data area assignment

R0100

4.BUILDING A SAFE SYSTEM OPERATION B-62923EN/01
4 BUILDING A SAFE SYSTEM

This chapter describes how to build a safe system using the
PROFIBUS-DP function.
- 106 -
B-62923EN/01 OPERATION 4.BUILDING A SAFE SYSTEM
4.1 SYSTEM SAFETY
The PROFIBUS-DP Master function manufactured by FANUC is

designed so that all DI signals are set to 0 when communication is not
performed normally. For this reason, to enable or disable a function
with a DI signal, build the system so that the system continues to
operate safely when the signal is set to 0.
PROFIBUS-DP communication employs a master-slave
communication mode. For this reason, ensure that the master station
always monitors the status of each slave to ensure safe system
operation.
For example, the master station can read and check the diagnose data
for each slave station to determine whether communication with the
slave station is being performed normally. A check method with using
no diagnose data is also supported. A signal for indicating normal
communication is provided in DI/DO data to be exchanged, and is
monitored to determine whether communication between the master
station and a slave station is performed normally.
As described above, for the master station, provide safety provisions
to ensure that the system is not started or is stopped safely if the
system is not ready for execution or if an error occurs in the system.
CAUTION
I/O data is not transferred in sync with ladder
execution, so that the concurrency of I/O data is not
guaranteed.
Table 4-1 indicates information about the processing to be performed

for the major communication states in the FANUC master station. By
referring to Table 4-1, build a safe system.

3.1 CONFIGURATION
The hardware of the PROFIBUS function comprises a PROFIBUS

board and a PROFIBUS adapter unit (hereafter simply referred to as
an adapter unit).
[PROFIBUS board]
The PROFIBUS board consists of two printed circuit boards:
a master function board and a slave function board.
Slave function board Master function board
The figure above shows the two boards joined together.
- 136 -
[Adapter unit]
The CNC control unit is usually mounted on the machine operator's
panel (pendant). The adapter unit allows the PROFIBUS cable to be
extended and connected in the power magnetics cabinet. This makes it
easy to lay the PROFIBUS bus cable after the machine is installed.
The PROFIBUS board and adapter unit are connected by an internal

cable. Two separate adapter units must be provided for the master
function and the slave function.

4.4 NOTES ON CONNECTING PROFIBUS BOARDS FOR THE

Power Mate i
When axis control card C is specified for the Power Mate i, there are
restrictions on connection of FANUC PROFIBUS-DP boards.
1) When the FANUC PROFIBUS-DP Master or Slave board is used
Connect the FANUC PROFIBUS-DP board to slot 2 (upper slot)
of the Power Mate i to use the board.
2) When the FANUC PROFIBUS-DP Master and Slave boards are

used together
Connect the FANUC PROFIBUS-DP Master board to slot 2
(upper slot) of the Power Mate i and the Slave board to slot 1
(lower slot).
For this Slave board, the bus connector manufactured by Siemens
cannot be used as the cable-end connector. Use a 9-pin D-Sub
male connector up to 13.1 mm high as the cable-end 9-pin D-Sub
connector. (See Section 1.4.) When the connector is not located
at the end of the line, connect two wires, referencing Section 1.5.
When it is located at the end of the line, connect a terminating
resistor, referencing Section 1.6.
NOTE
1 If a PROFIBUS-DP board is connected to slot 1
(lower slot), a bus connector manufactured by
Siemens interferes with the optical connector of axis
control card C.
2 The specifications of axis control card C for the
Power Mate i are A02B-0259-H021 to
A02B-0259-H024. With an axis control card for the
Power Mate i added following axis control card C,
the same restrictions as with axis control card C are
put on connection of FANUC PROFIBUS-DP
boards.

NOTE
1 The PROFIBUS Setting Tool (drawing number
A08B-9510-J530) is a personal computer (PC) tool
related to the PROFIBUS-DP master function.
This tool enables PROFIBUS-DP master function
parameters to be created on a PC.
Those who use the PROFIBUS-DP master function
for the first time or are unfamiliar with
PROFIBUS-DP master function setting are
recommended to purchase a copy of this tool.
The Ethernet function is necessary to use this tool.

CAUTION
When setting slave parameter data, pay careful
attention to the following points:
1 The slave parameters are available for 126 stations.
However, set the slave parameters for no more than
32 DP-Slaves for actual communication.
2 When using DP-Slaves provided by other
manufacturers, set the slave parameters according
to the GSD file attached to each DP-Slave.
3 When setting the slave parameters, carefully check
the slave number of each DP-Slave to be set.

A.1.4 Setting for Operation mode

Pressing soft key [MODE] on Screen A-2 displays Screen A-8. On
this screen, you can set the STOP, CLEAR, or OPERATE mode
defined in the PROFIBUS-DP specifications.
Screen A-8
On this screen, the current communication mode is displayed for

CURRENT MODE. Pressing soft key [STOP], [CLEAR], or
[OPERA] sets the corresponding communication mode. The setting
order must be [OPERATE], [CLEAR], and [STOP], or [STOP],
[CLEAR], and [OPERATE].
The communication status in each mode is explained below:

OFFLINE :
Communication with all nodes is disabled.
STOP :
Communication with another master station (such as a class-2
master station) is enabled.
CLEAR :
The output (DO) to all communication enable slave stations is
cleared.
OPERATE :
DI/DO communication is being performed with all
communication enable slave stations.
- 198 -
NOTE
For the operation mode, pay careful attention to the
following points:
(1) When the power is turned on in the status in which
at least one slave station is ACTIVE, the master
station automatically starts in the OPERATE mode.
An ACTIVE slave station means a slave station for
which ENABLE and SLAVE TYPE = 192 are set as
slave parameters.
(2) In a case other than (1), that is, when the power is
turned on in the status in which all slave stations
are not ACTIVE, the master station automatically
starts in the STOP mode.
(3) A FANUC master station cannot manually be put in
the OFFLINE mode.
If a FANUC master station is in the OFFLINE mode
immediately after power-on, an error may occur.
See Table A-1, "Setting Error Message."
A message may be displayed at the lower left of Screen A-8. In this

Table A-6 Mode screen message

“MODE SET OK” Mode setting was performed normally.
Mode setting was performed in an invalid
order.
(For example, the order is [OPERATE] and
“INVALID OPERATION”
[STOP].)
Perform mode setting in a valid order as
described above.
This message is displayed if one of the
following three operations is performed:
1) [STOP] and [OFFLINE] are set in this order.
2) The power is turned on in the status in
which no slave stations are ACTIVE, and
[STOP] and [CLEAR] are set in this order.
3) After slave parameters are downloaded
from a class-2 master station, [STOP] and
"POWER MUST BE

In case 1), the OFFLINE status is equal to the
power-off status.
In case 2) or 3), if settings are changed by
downloading from the slave parameter setting
screen or class-2 master station after
power-on, the change cannot be made take
effect immediately. For this reason, turn the
power off, then on again.

A.1.5 Updating DI/DO Data for the Master Function

When creating a ladder program, fully consider the data refresh time
and data simultaneity described below.
Data refresh time
The data refresh time for the master function means the time required
for updating DI/DO data for all slave stations that is allocated in the R
area of the PMC by address assignment.
NOTE
DI/DO data only for the slave stations for which
ENABLE is set as a slave parameter is to be
updated.
In this section, a slave station for which ENABLE is
set is described as a communication slave station.
When only the master function is used

The data refresh time for the master function is indicated by
REFRESH TIME on Screen A-2. When REFRESH TIME : X MSEC
[Y + Z] is assumed, the meaning of each item is as follows:
X: Data refresh time (= Y + Z)
Y: One-scan time within the communication board (msec)
Z: One-scan time within the CNC (msec)
The one-scan time indicates the DI/DO processing time for all
communication slave stations.
The number of digits that can be displayed is 3 for X, 3 for Y, and 4
for Z. If the number of digits is exceeded, OVR or OVER is displayed,
and it does not affect communication.
CAUTION
Note that DI/DO data may not be updated within the
time displayed for REFRESH TIME in either of the
following cases:
- The status of at least one communication slave
station is changing every moment.
(In this case, diagnose data must be updated.)
- A service is being received from a class-2 master
station every moment.
Y: The one-scan time within the communication board depends

greatly on the bus parameter setting. When the baud rate is 12
Mbps and normal communication is performed with all slave
stations, however, the value of Y is 8 msec in most cases.
- 200 -
Z: The one-scan time within the CNC is determined by expression

(A) shown below:
a1+a2×(N-1)+a3×SIZE≤1000................................................. (A)
a1, a2, a3 : Constant parameters
N : Number of communication slave stations
SIZE : DI/DO data size
Table A-7 Constant Parameters in Expression (A)

16i/18i/21i-A/B,
CNC 16/18-C
Power Mate i –D/H
a1 294 282
Constant a2 50 35
a3 1.0 1.2
In expression (A), N and SIZE indicate the number of communication

slave stations and DI/DO data size that can be updated during one
CNC ITP process (8 msec each), respectively.
The procedure for determining N and SIZE is shown below:
<1> Add the DI/DO data size for each communication slave station in
ascending order of station numbers. Each time the DI/DO data
size for a station is added, substitute the cumulative number of
communication slave stations (N) and the DI/DO data size
(SIZE) in expression (A) and check whether the condition is
satisfied.
<2> Increase the values of N and SIZE and obtain the maximum
values of N and SIZE (Nmax and SIZEmax) that satisfy the
condition for expression (A). The DI/DO data for one to Nmax
stations is updated during the first ITP process.
<3> When the value of the left-hand side exceeds 1000, clear the
values of N and SIZE once. Start calculation from step <1> as
the second ITP process.
<4> Perform steps <1> to <3> for all communication slave stations
and count the number of ITP processes (n).
Thus, Z is obtained as follows:
Z : one-scan-time-within-CNC = (n-1) × 8 msec
Example of calculating Z: One-scan time within the CNC)

[Conditions]
• Communication slave station settings for the master function:
- DI/DO size set for station No. 3 = 122/122
[Calculation]
• First ITP process
- Calculation for station Nos. 3 and 4:
294+50×(2-1)+1.0×(244+244)=832≤1000
→ N and SIZE indicate the maximum values.
- Calculation for station Nos. 3 to 5:
294+50×(3-1)+1.0×(244+244+244)=1126≥1000
→ The values of N and SIZE are cleared.
- 201 -
• Second ITP process

294+50×(2-1)+1.0×(244+244)=832≤1000
→ The ITP process count (n) is determined to be 2 and
calculation for all communication slave stations is
complete.
Thus, Z: One-scan time within the CNC is 8 msec for this example.
When both the master and slave functions are used together
In this case, the data refresh time is similar to that described in "When
only the master function is used" above.
However, SIZE: DI/DO data size in expression (A) is as follows:
SIZE = SIZEmas + SIZEslv
SIZEmas : DI/DO data size for the master function
SIZEslv : DI/DO data size for the slave function
Example of calculating Z: One-scan time within the CNC)

[Conditions]
• Communication slave station settings for the master function :
• Settings for the slave function : DI/DO SIZE = 50/50
[Calculation]
• First ITP process
- Calculation for station Nos. 3 and 4:
294+50×(2-1)+1.0×(244+244+100)=932≤1000
→ N and SIZE indicate the maximum values.
294+50×(3-1)+1.0×(244+244+244+100)=1226≥1000
→ The values of N and SIZE are cleared.
• Second ITP process
294+50×(2-1)+1.0×(244+244+100)=932≤1000
→ The ITP process count (n) is determined to be 2 and
calculation for all communication slave stations is
complete.
Thus, Z: One-scan time within the CNC is 8 msec for this example.

selecting screen” for the detail of the data displayed
with above M0001 to MXXXX.
3 When DPL/MDI Operation Package is used instead
of CRT/MDI, the range of data is not checked. Be
sure to check the data range by referring to the
chapter 2.2 Number and item for selecting screen”
before setting data. If wrong number is set, data
communication may not be performed normally.
4 The items that are set in hexadecimal in CRT/MDI
should be set in decimal without sign in DPL/MDI
Operation Package. Set a value after converting into
decimal.
Ex. In case of IDENT NO. =A1H, set 161 because
A1H=161.

MAX SLAVE NO.
This parameter specifies the maximum DP-Slave station
number currently being used.
The maximum DP-Slave station number with which the
FANUC CNC master function can communicate is 32. This
restriction stems from the size of the data area that can be
used with the FANUC CNC. The station number
assignment for the DP-Slaves connected to this DP-Master
must be sequential and begin from 3.
DI/DO SETTING
This parameter specifies the areas to be used as DI/DO data
buffers.
- 258 -
The one and only restriction imposed on the PMC addresses

that can be used for these buffers is related to input- and
output-only types.
It is necessary to allocate as many sets of DI/DO data areas
as the number of stations specified in "MAX SLAVE NO."
CAUTION
Always set even-numbered bytes for DI SIZE and
DO SIZE.

This parameter specifies the area for saving standard
diagnostic data.
See Table B-4,"Standard Diagnose Data" in Supplement B
for a detailed description of the standard diagnostic data.
NOTE

6556 of CONTROL SOFTWARE is used, only
standard diagnose data (6 bytes) can be detected.
Soft key [INIT] on Screen C-7 clears the value of each address
Example) On Screen C-7, MAX SLAVE NO. is 5. This indicates that

three DP-Slaves having station numbers 3 to 5 are
connected.
DI ADDRESS is R0000, and DI SIZE is 32. So, a DI data
area is allocated for each of the DP-Slaves in 32-byte units,
starting at R0000, as shown below. DO ADDRESS is
R0100, and DO SIZE is 16. So, a DO data area is allocated
for each of the DP-Slaves in 16-byte units, starting at
